    Hi everyone,

    Just a quick intro to myself I am new to nofap. I have struggled with PMO for many years now, say around 17-18 years (I am now 33). I guess high speed internet etc has done me no favours. I am at a stage in my life where I am getting older & it has an increasing effect on my mind & my body & I have noticed! A few examples below:

    - messes with my digestion
    - developed bad health & general anxiety
    - struggle with stressful daily tasks
    - Colds seem to last longer as my body turns to PMO and can't focus on recovery!
    - general tiredness & irritability
    - Lower sperm count (albeit temporary).
    - Addictive & obsessive nature
    - addicted to PMO.

    Basically, I have turned to nofap for help. I need to change my life & change all of the above points, all of which I believe are caused by using PMO too often, falling in the trap and being in an ENDLESS CYCLE. I need to break that cycle & would love to learn how.

    Be great to hear from you guys.

    Thanks Roady. I have been reading & also started a daily journal thanks for the advice. Seems to help writing these things down & sharing them!

    Welcome. Glad you are here.

    Take some time to read the reboot material (available here => http://www.nofap.com/getting-started) and come up with a plan for what you will do when you are faced with urges. It has good advice, so don't skip it! :)

    Perhaps start writing a journal - if you feel comfortable telling people about happened and what's going on now, you will start to feel accountable to them. You may even inspire others. It's a nice feeling! This will help your recovery.

    Also, try to add something into your life that makes you the kind of person who doesn't engage in PMO. Think about doing:
    Something you enjoy
    Something you're good at
    Something important
    Something for somebody else, without thought of reward (and if you DO get an unintended reward, do something ELSE, perhaps for a different person or group).

    Read the journals of others - we all learn from each other. For example, I received the above good advice from a far more experienced member of the community who shared his knowledge. Don't just stay within your own age group or part of the world. Share your knowledge in a respectful way. Read, learn, apply.

    Look around the forums, get to know people. Everyone is friendly, and will try to support you. We're all in the same boat here. :)

    Be kind to others and others will be kind to you, both here and IRL.

    I wish you a successful reboot.
